The Sunwolves have named a vastly changed Super Rugby team to play the Sharks at Kings Park in Durban on Saturday.

In the backs only William Tupou retains his place in the starting line up as Michael Little and Sione Teaupa come in as the centres while Lomano Lemeki starts at 14 with Kotaro Matsushima at full-back.

The half back pairing is Keisuke Uchida and Harumichi Tatekawa for this match.

In the forward pack Craig Millar, Michael Leitch and Willie Britz keep their places in the starting line up but Britz changes to No.8.
